Track: The Glass Children – Capture
I’ve a terrible memory. Or at least – I did last week. You see, a couple of things happened on April 11th and I happened to miss them both.

That journey, such as it is, began in earnest with the release of their first EP in 2012, and began …

If you were lucky enough to have caught South London trio Happyness in one of their support slots for Slow Club in February or JAWS at the start of March then you’ll know what a great band they are. I managed to catch them at their gig at Queen’s Social Club in Sheffield and they looked …
